Thanks everyone. He passed away this morning.. Can't describe the horrible
situation.. Can see myself having nightmares, already having visions. We
contacted the VA, they gave us the forms but we had to wait until it
happened.
My dad only had 72K worth of life insurance and my mom is only 58. So
That's heartbreaking Greg. I'm sorry. Looking out for your mom the way you
are is probably the best gift you can give your dad.

A quick summary:
My mom is 58, she'll turn 60 July 2014. My mom has always been a stay at
home mom, never had a job in her life. My dad doesn't have much long to
live, weeks, maybe months.
My dad was in the military, fought and injured in Vietnam. Are any of you

Is your dad currently on/available for TriCARE?

She should be covered by insurance through the VA, called TriCare.
She'll also be eligible for survivor benefits when your Dad passes
away. I'm very sorry to hear that he's not doing well, that's a rough
situation.

Survivor benefits info:
Right now they have insurance through United Health Care which expires this
month. I'll look at those links and see what I can come up with.
I appreciate you guys, I didn't know of TriCare.

The VA has people to help you sort all this out, I definitely
encourage you to contact the local VA office and tell them what's what
so they can help you, your mom and your dad figure out what the
options are and how to proceed.

Good luck,
My mom suggested also trying this link, to see if there is a fit with their
circumstances.

I agree with Judah about contacting the VA, but also contact the
social services offices in the county they live in to find out if she
will be eligible for any low income based benefits. Also, contact
United Health Care to determine if she is eligible to continue that
policy on Cobra. Do not
We looked into Cobra, it was ridiculously expensive.. 600+ a month per
person. But I guess that's better than not having insurance.
Tomorrow we talk to my Dad's Oncologist/Hematologist. We suspect he's going
to stop the chemo treatment and send my Dad to hospice.
I'll call around tomorrow,
600 a month seems expensive, but a single cardiac test can cost over
20 thousand dollars, so you definitely do not want her uninsured.

600 a month is nothing, if you she can swing it. 1 trip to the hospital,
overnight, is thousands, and at her age, I would try everything to continue
what coverage she has, especially if it was any good, at least to give you
time to work out any other options you may have.

Yes. Anything you can to keep any kind of insurance. My last ER visit
turned out to be for nothing. They didn't do anything but observe me
for a couple of hours while the labs were being done. The bill was
about $1,800 ... $40 of that was for some aspirin =-/
